词汇引导的感知学习是指利用词汇知识重新调整语音类别，从而适应新说话者的发音。这种适应已被广泛记录，但主要是针对英语和荷兰语的分段学习。在具有词汇语调的语言中，如汉语普通话，也可以通过这种方式进行声调范畴的回归，但对分段范畴的回归尚未进行研究。我们报告了两个实验，在这些实验中，汉语普通话听众在词汇语境中接触到[f]和[s]的模糊混合，倾向于将其解释为[f]或[s]。听者随后更有可能识别出[f]和[s]之间的连续音，并以与这种暴露一致的方式解释最小的单词对。因此，词汇引导的分段分类感知学习确实发生了，这与这种学习可能是一种普遍可用的适应过程的建议一致。
Lexically guided perceptual learni ng refers to the use of lexical knowledge to retune sp eech categories and thereby adapt to a novel talker's pronunciation. This adaptation has been extensively documented, but primarily for segmental-based learning in English and Dutch. In languages with lexical tone, such as Mandarin Chinese, tonal categories can also be retuned in this way, but segmental category retuning had not been studied. We report two experiment s in which Mandarin Chinese listeners were exposed to an ambiguous mixture of [f] and [s] in lexical contexts favoring an interpretation as either [f] or [s]. Listeners were subsequently more likely to identify sounds along a continuum between [f] and [s], and to interpret minimal word pairs, in a manner consistent with this exposure. Thus lexically guided perceptual learning of segmental categories had indeed taken place, consistent with suggestions that such learning may be a universally available adaptation process.
